...more Waylon and Willie. Their duet album is amazing, the best country album of the year by a long shot. From the first cut on side one, "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," a tongue-in-cheek hymn to pre-professionalism ("Don't let 'em play guitars and drive them old trucks/Let 'em grow up to be lawyers and doctors and such"), you know this album is going to have some punch and humor. The crazy, whining guitars on "Mamas" come back for an encore in "I Can Get Off On You," perhaps a slight...

...powerful tale of emotional and cultural conflict, Reid has written an extraordinarily convoluted and cliche-ridden spy story, replete with stoic federal agents, femmes fatales and toothless goons with a penchant for breaking people's kneecaps (a fine old Irish revolutionary tradition). The accent is definitely on the shoot-em-up angle; and if Father O'Neill behaves less like a man of the cloth and more like a pleasantly libidinous edition of Robert Redford--well, at least you know who they've got lined up for the movie...
